The cottage of affordable, self-catering accommodation in the countryside of Whitwell.

Easily made into a Twin or Double Room for Two Guests

Little Granville was renovated during 2011/12 to provide very attractive and comfortable accommodation for two people in one bedroom. It has been furnished and equipped to a very high standard and is centrally heated and double glazed. There is a delightful open plan living area with a fitted kitchen equipped with an electric cooker and gas hob, dishwasher and refrigerator with icebox; a pleasant dining area; a lovely sitting room area with comfortable armchairs, and a flat screen television/DVD/Freeview. Patio doors open from here on to a pretty decked area with a table and chairs so that meals can be enjoyed in the sunshine whilst enjoying the views. There is a separate twin or double bedroom (can be made into which suites the guests needs) which is very well equipped with fitted wardrobes and a lovely en-suite shower room with a large walk in shower, basin and w.c. Heating and electricity are provided without extra charge. A freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer are also available for visitors’ use.

Discover the Countryside & The Isle of Wight

There is so much to do on the Isle of Wight from events to attractions, but if you find time just to sit and relax then you are more than welcome to spend time in the garden of Ford Farm House. This is a continuing project, with new plans for it always in mind, but we receive many compliments and we hope you will enjoy it too.

One of our main missions is to make a wildlife-friendly home to help the environment. When we first arrived, the garden was just laid with lawn which was very uninteresting. Since then we have added many shrubs, bushes and small trees which the birds, butterflies and bees love and we see many different species every year.

The Isle of Wight is the largest island in England measuring only 23 miles by 13 miles. Just south of the mainland, the Island is peaceful, rural and picturesque, offering miles of beautiful beaches, footpaths, downland and cycle paths.

Little Granville enjoys stunning views across beautiful countryside and is in a wonderful cycling and walking area, with footpaths from close to the house, as well as being within a 10 minute drive of the sandy beaches of Steephill Cove, Ventnor and Shanklin.

Excellent location and well appointed and comfortable accommodation. Ideal for those wanting peace and quiet. Not surprised to find it is fully booked and just delighted to have found a single free week.

Michael POverall Rating: 5 Stars

We have enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable cottage. This is an ideal spot, nowhere is too far on the island. We particularly enjoyed the Needles area and the Victorian splendor of Ventnor. Malthouse Manor, National Trust is excellent.
